The real “probiotics” are fermented foods and yes they do. The supplements you can buy… are not evaluated or regulated in any way, corpos can and do try to charge as much as they can for as little as possible. Even with the best intentions supplements are a kinda silly approach vs just eating living food. Yogurt gets recommended the most cause it doesn’t have the salt/sugar a lot of fermentation calls for, kimchi and kombucha also great imo

Separate take but I think just being a little dirtier is good for ya too. Eat stuff you dropped/left out on the counter, get a little queasy, emerge victorious. Every time you conquer a little stomach bug without antibiotics your power will grow until you are strong enough to wander the city picking at strangers leftovers

In the most literal sense possible, there’s nothing empathetic about being unable to understand or relate to experiences distant from your own. I’m not going to join in trying to share insight into the interplay of poverty, escapism, and addiction when you so clearly don’t give a shit. Happy new year man.

I would go as far as to say no single chemical is “the problem” and that entire perspective is brutally reductionist. There are so many problems with the way we’re living, pinning the blame on the existence of temporary escape is so backwards and cruel it’s hard for me to imagine what makes someone think that way. “TrickDacy” is really showing their whole ass here

Just wanted to say this was an insightful and empathetic post from someone who clearly has a lot more direct experience than the guy going off about heroin itself chemically ruining lives

You don’t! I’ve never done it but have def seen usb-c ipods and there’s a kit from “moonlit market” that comes up a lot. Minor soldering required

This might be a helpful starting point :)

I’ve never seen a glass bottle of milk outside of old movies, around here it’s plastic jugs and the “fancy” stuff comes in cartons

So this is how I find out I’m poor…

Can you get a gift card for rehab?

Haven’t seen one with wifi, but enthusiasts are for sure building out old ipods and bluetooth/flash memory are probably the two most common mods

I use it enough to resent you recommending it on the basis that seeding isn’t mandatory. This is why we can’t have nice things

Posting to frown on this, do the kids these days not have any concept of reciprocity? In what sick mentality is not having to give back a selling point?

I put KDE Neon on this exact laptop for a friend and everything Just Works™. Pen, onscreen keyboard, switching in and out of tablet mode when you flip the lid, everything. Pretty slick really. Same distro on a Lenovo 2-in-1 was a lot more finicky, who knows why

My take on this is pretty simple, and manages to alienate tradwifes and transbians alike: gender is a social construct, and like most social constructs worth freeing yourself from. “Assigned” is a key word here, no one is born with an inherent gender to be right or wrong. Sex is a separate concept entirely, currently immutable and relevant only in the context of reproduction. Conflating the two is an immense source of confusion. Being the best you you can be (and defining what that means) is a lifelong process with no shortcuts or easy answers. Allowing a false dichotomy between hard tough exploiter and soft pretty resource to shape your very sense of self is a tragic waste of the miracle of experience. That perspective is useful only to this sick society’s goal of total extraction, not our human need to love and be loved

I let a guy borrow my car for like an 8hr round trip and it came back hazed. Only rules were no smoking/bring it back full, dude gave me the same “you can’t even tell” line when I called him out for my shit being all sticky. Hate it so much, somehow sticky and slimy at the same time, super gross

Bro you’re leaving slimy glycol haze everywhere you go, this is exactly like cigarette smokers thinking it doesn’t stink. Run a finger over the rearview mirror of your wrx and you’ll see what I’m talking about

Females, am I right fellas?

Smells kinda like reddit in here

Merry pissmist

Genius

Ever heard of “good cop bad cop”?

Check out hall effect replacement sticks next time, better than new and supposed to hold up a while

People like expressing themselves, to know and be known is kinda what life is all about, and I have no idea how to meaningfully engage with someone who sees that opportunity as a burden to be alleviated. Hope you find both joy and peace today man
